Quote For The Night
"But the truth is, while I am religious and I believe firmly in Islam, I
have lost faith in Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the revolution. I have no
trust in Ayatollah Khamenei or his offspring Ahmadinejad. The President's
supporters are bigots. This country needs a proper political leader not an old
cleric or a political child. When I have wiped my tears away, I have something to be happy and proud
of. Mousavi may have lost this fraudulent election, but people will not forget
him, and what is more they will draw a line between him and what he represents
and this government.
What is more, we will never forget this event. People will not give up. They
are being crushed into silence, but they won't be silent forever. They have new
ways to connect to one another. They, the regime, can block Facebook today but
they can't do it forever. Something has changed in this country, people have
been cheated but they have seized more freedom. Now we are like caged lions, so
taking anything from us will be harder in future," - a protest-supporting, chador-wearing, religiously
conservative student, as quoted in the Independent.
